The employer tax certificate season for February 2015 closed on 29 May 2015. If you are a HRTorQue Payroll client, all your employees tax certificates were loaded into e@syfile well within the allocated timeframe.
We now start to prepare for the Mid-Year submission for the tax period 1st March 2015 to 31st August 2015.
The Individual Filing Season has now kicked off and employees should start submitting their tax returns now – particularly if a refund is due!
